Trevor getting out of bed woke Derek up, opening his eyes just in time to see the door shut. It was obviously still early since there was no light coming in the windows. He rolled over on his back holding in the urge to sigh.
In that moment Derek wasn't sure what was worse; that time in college he woke up in bed after a one night stand had slipped out during the night, or waking up in another mans bed and realizing he was the one expected to slip out in the night. He had taken a chance and ended up hurting himself more than ever before. He closed his eyes trying to think of how to get out of this mess when he heard the door creak open. Maybe he could fake sleep until he got his emotions under control.
Trevor gently slipped back into bed beside him. The smaller man laid his head on Derek's shoulder, snuggling against him with one leg over his. With his despair melting into joy, Derek "woke up" enough to move his arm around Trevor, and they both drifted back to sleep.
The next time Derek awoke the room was bathed in a warm glow, sunlight seeping through the slats of the blinds. He watched Trevor sleeping, his body moving slightly with each breath. "God he's beautiful even when he's sleeping," he thought, "a man could get used to waking up like this every day."
The only problem was that Trevor had shifted just enough in his sleep that his weight was resting on Derek's arm and it was getting uncomfortable. Derek tried to free his arm gently, but woke Trevor up anyway.
"Hey there," Derek said, for once in his life at a loss for words.
Trevor grinned as he scooted up a bit and gave Derek a quick peck, "Good morning".
Correction; a man could get addicted to waking up like this. Derek used his newly freed arm hand to gently pull Trevor's head back in for a much longer kiss. Their lips parted simultaneously, as each sought greater access to his partner's tongue. This was no duel, but a leisurely exploration. When they parted Trevor laid his head on the pillow. "I was worried you wear sneaking out of your own bed earlier," Derek confessed.
"I went to the hall bathroom to pee. The toilet in the master runs forever and I was worried it would wake you up."
Derek couldn't believe he had been so stupid earlier. He was usually so confident, but he couldn't bear the thought of screwing this up.
"So, what happens now? This is actually the first time I've woken up with someone in my bed. Well, Tiffany crashed with me occasionally during residencies but that doesn't count," Trevor finished.
Maybe Derek wasn't the only one feeling a little insecure. "I don't exactly have a lot of experience at this either... I guess what happens now is up to you. We can either talk about what's going on with us, or if you want me to leave, I'll go and we can try to pretend this never happened."
The silence was deafening as Derek held his breath, waiting for an answer. Trevor propped his head up to look him in the eye, "Is that what you want?"
"No, I'm not sure I ever want to leave," Derek decided honesty was best. Without thinking he plunged on, "I don't know where this is going, but I want to find out. Talking to you last night was the best I have felt in years, like everything was right with the world. I don't want to scare you but I really hope you'll give me a chance."
Trying to lighten the declaration Derek added, "Plus you make a really good teddy bear. I haven't slept this good in ages."
Trevor couldn't hold back his laughter at that last line, rewarding Derek by leaning over for another kiss. What started as a quick kiss quickly built in intensity, the tenderness from before lost to hunger and passion. Derek tried to pull Trevor closer, but the man had a better idea and climbed on top. Derek pulled him tight, yearning for as much physical contact as possible. Their legs intertwined grinding their bulging underwear together. As the friction increased they broke out in a light sheen of sweat, mating down the hairs on their chests.
Their grinding reached a fevered pitch as Derek maneuvered his legs around Trevor as they continued to dry hump. He caressed Trevor's back and slowly started working his fingertips under the waistband to get rid of the offending cloth when the phone started to ring.
The moment was lost as Trevor went limp in defeat. Looking at the clock for the first time he noticed it was already after 10. "That will be Tiffany, she's the only one that calls my landline, and she won't quit calling till I answer."
Derek gave a soft chuckle in response, "Well it's obvious she really cares about you."
"And I could care about you just as much or more..." Derek thought to himself.
Trevor rolled over and grabbed the handset, "Hey Tiff, what's up?"
"I was taking out the trash, I had to run to catch the phone," he blushed.
Derek looked on with amusement, and decided to be a little naughty. He slowly ran his hand across the bed and started to lightly caress Trevor's stomach. His voice went up a bit when Derek pinched his nipple "OOOH, No of course I didn't forget. Where do you want to meet?"
"Sounds good, I'll see you there," Trevor hung up the phone as Derek started to giggle.
"Oh I will get you for that," he said as he launched himself across the bed and began to tickle the larger man. "Payback is hell."
Derek defended himself by distracting Trevor with another kiss. The two men settled back onto the bed.
"I uh, I don't want you to think I'm kicking you out, but Tiff was calling to firm up plans for brunch."
"It's ok, I understand" Derek answered. "I know neither of us exactly planned to wake up this way. I guess I should head home, but can I call you later?"
"You could come with me. I mean you already know Tiffany, and I'd like you to meet Ryan."
"Are you sure? I mean Tiffany is going to tease us both when I show up in the same clothes as last night."
"I'm sure I have a shirt you can borrow." Trevor blushed before continuing, "And you already got the Tiffany seal of approval while you were in the bathroom last night. Besides, it will be fun to see the look on her face when you walk in."
=============================================
By the time they made it out of bed and Derek inhaled a cup of coffee there just wasn't time for showers. Trevor had loaned him a shirt and a cap. Derek knew a certain hat he had picked up on vacation was probably still in the car, but he couldn't bear the thought of wearing it now. That hat was headed for the trash as soon as he got home.
Having made themselves as presentable as possible they headed out the door a half hour later, taking Derek's Forester to brunch. Of course Trevor's surprise was spoiled when Tiffany spotted them getting out of the car.
"Well, well, well, looks like I don't need to ask what happened after I left last night after all," Tiffany said as they the duo sat down.
"Nothing happened Mother, Derek was a perfect gentlemen," Trevor teased Tiffany.
"You call that nothing? My ass is going to be sore for a week," Derek deadpanned.
Ryan burst out laughing as Tiffany and Trevor sputtered. "I think we're going to get along just fine. You do know they will gang up on you for payback, right?" Ryan said as he extended his hand to greet Derek.
"For the record, nothing happened last night," Trevor clarified, "and someone called and interrupted us this morning. You'll have plenty of time to get even though Tiff, I plan to keep him around a long time."
Derek got that goofy grin again when Trevor squeezed his hand under the table. "..and you said you were taking out the trash," Tiffany muttered.
The rest of brunch was relaxed and uneventful. When Tiffany started to tease them equally about not being able to go two minutes without touching each other, he knew he had been accepted to the group. Good thing she couldn't see under the table where their legs remained gently pressed together.
Derek could hardly believe how quickly his life had changed.
=======================================
On the way back to Trevor's house Derek had to ask, "When you told Tiffany you planned to keep me around, did you mean it?"
"I guess we didn't exactly finish the conversation this morning, I just sort of assumed... Are you still accepting applications for a new teddy bear?"
"Nope, the job is all yours," Derek clasped Trevor's hand and brought it to his lips for a quick kiss. "You're all I need and I never want to share."
"And I don't plan to share you, you're all mine now."
They held hands the rest of the drive, letting go only when Derek needed both hands to turn into the driveway.
==============================================
He was on Trevor before the door was even closed, no longer able to contain his need. Trevor just moaned into the kiss as he was backed into the kitchen island. This kiss was like nothing either had felt before, like two souls merging into one. Derek ran both hands down Trevor's back to cup that perfect ass, pulling his body close. Feeling Trevor's hardness against brought a singular focus to mind, a desperate need to taste his lover.
As they continued to share the same breath Derek fumbled with the zipper blocking his prize. Sensing his lover's need Trevor quickly undid his belt pushed his shorts and boxers to the kitchen floor. Derek held the shorts down with his foot while Trevor worked a foot free before hopping backwards to sit on the island.
Derek smiled lustily as he finally got to admire the 7" of pure man that he had felt poking him multiple times that day. Trevor was cut, average thickness, the flared mushroom head already slick with need. The natural bush rounded out the look. "God you're beautiful," escaped Derek's mouth.
Trevor blushed again, showing those dimples once again that made Derek weak in the knees. Derek Leaned in for another kiss as he slowly began to stroke the leaky member.
"I'm not going to last long, I've been on edge since this morning," Trevor whimpered.
After another quick kiss Derek started to take off the hat when Trevor reached out to stop him, "No keep it on, please" he rasped, "it's like staking claim to my boyfriend."
That earned Trevor a kiss that left him breathless. Derek flipped the hat backwards and lowered his head towards the prize. He couldn't resist licking the steady stream of precum off the tip, taking a moment to savor the slightly sweet, slightly acrid flavor. Craving more he moved lower, slowly licking down the length. The earthy aroma wafting from Trevor's fuzzy nut sack was intoxicating, spurring him on as he greedily licked at Trevor's balls.
Derek was lost in the moment as he slipped his mouth slowly down the shaft. Trevor's moans were growing louder as his balls started to tighten. When he felt Trevor's hand cupping the back of his head, he glanced up to see his boyfriend's head thrown back in ecstasy. His final moan turned into a whimper as he released his seed.
Derek swallowed down the tangy shot with his own sense of euphoria. With Trevor still riding the wave of his orgasm Derek sought relief of his own and freed his thick cock from his shorts. A few quick strokes later and he was splashing his load across Trevor's chest.
Trevor had recovered enough to pull the other man into a tight embrace, steadying him as he came down from his own high. Time slowed as they stared into one another's eyes.
Trevor broke the spell when he hoped off the countertop and reached for Derek's hand, wordlessly leading him through the house. Stopping at the bed Trevor finally spoke with a slight tremble in his voice, "Please hold me a little longer..."
"As you wish," Derek said with a glint in his eyes as he removed the last of his clothes, "After all, unlimited cuddling on demand is DEFINITELY in your contract."
Derek climbed into bed behind Trevor, who quickly moved into little spoon position, lacing his fingers with his boyfriends to snuggle in tight. After a few minutes the silence had turned cold, and Derek could feel a tension creeping into Trevor. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Trevor answered quickly.
Derek let go of Trevor's hands and backed away slightly, "Bullshit. Is it something I said or did? Please talk to me."
Trevor rolled over to face him, tears in his eyes, "I know you need to head home soon, and I don't want to let you go. I'm scared you'll leave and decide this was all a big mistake. What happens tomorrow or the next day?"
Without thinking Derek had quickly pulled Trevor close, suddenly desperate to regain physical contact. "That will never happen. I've fallen for you, but more than that you make me complete. Now that I found you I'm never letting go.
"As for what happens tomorrow... we'll both go to work, and hopefully you'll have time to text me between patients. And then we can meet for dinner or just sit on the phone and talk the night away. I want to hear every detail of your everyday, and learn all your stories while we create new ones of our own.
"As for work... well, I'd like to keep our relationship quiet for a while. Not because I'm embarrassed, I'm just a private person and don't want everyone sticking their noses into our affairs. I'll tell Robyn about our relationship in the morning. I don't think it will be a problem since the board isn't involved in day to day operations, but if it is I'll tender my resignation. I have more than enough savings to give me time to find something else."
After he finished he finally reopened his eyes. Derek wasn't quite sure when he had closed them, but now that his feelings were out in the open he needed to see how Trevor had handled it. "So I guess one of us has thought about this," Trevor said with a mischievous grin.
Sensing that the crisis was averted Derek stole a quick kiss, "I've had a few weeks. When we met for lunch with Lindsey I was sort of checking out your ass in the parking lot." He blushed as he continued, "and then when I met you, and you gave me a smile and showed off your dimples I sort of developed a bit of a crush."
Trevor didn't realize what he was doing when he gave Derek a soul merging kiss, but he erased any lingering questions. Derek had fallen hopelessly in love.
"Promise me you'll talk to me whenever you're upset?" Derek asked between smooches.
"Well there is one other thing," Trevor looked deep into Derek's eyes, and pawed at his lover's stiffening member, "I still haven't gotten to play with this."
Derek was rock hard by the end of their kiss, and Trevor wasted no time slipping under the covers to get something other than a tongue in his mouth.
That evening in the shower, finally back at home, Derek began to think through the events of the last day. He began to stiffen once again remembering how hard he came, unsure if it was from Trevor's technique or just because it had been Trevor. They had cuddled and talked another half hour before he left.
The relationship was so new, he hoped they weren't moving too fast. No one else had ever gotten to him like this, but Derek resolved he would do whatever to took to keep them together. With Trevor he finally felt free to be himself; he was home.
